Perhaps that’s because Lisa Kudrow isn’t involved anymore? I noticed her name doesn’t appear in the credits on this series.

Jenny

Her name still appeared in the credits for this episode, and the one that just been on tonight.

Copyright is not held by the person who commisions a photograph. The Copyright is held by the person who took the photograph. For example if you "commission" someone be it a proffessional photographer or just your neighbour, they will hold the copyright not you.

Simon

Simon, your reply only relates to automatic copyright, it is very possible in the contract for a commissioned work for the copyright be passed to the person who commissioned the photographer.
It is also very possible for the photographer to grant a licence to use and distribute copies of the photograph if that is what they require.
Blanket statements cannot be made when it comes to copyright for commissioned works as the details of the commission change the rights involved.

Yes you are quite right there is not enough room here to explain all the nuances of copyright, and of course the granting of a licence is what people who upload their photos to Ancestry either don't understand or refuse to accept as the Ancestry T&Cs are quite clear. You either have to own the copyright or you have the copyright owners permission, before you upload photos and make them publically available on a tree. You have then automatically granted Ancestry a licence for them to make them available as they wish. This includes making them available as records which other subsribers can attach to their own trees, but also Ancestry can use them for their own purpose (eg on other sites they own, or publicity media etc). If they appear on another subsribers tree, they haven't been 'stolen' or 'lifted' lifted without the permission of the owner, they have been legitimately attached as just another Ancestry record. If someone starts using them outside of Ancestry then you have a different ball game altogether.
I suspect a large number of Ancestry subscribers have no idea who owns the copyright of photos  that they upload.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Parish Registers and Transcripts Bradford St Peters
« on: Thursday 28 February 19 15:05 GMT (UK)  »
I was looking at particular records for a parish in Staffordshire which are described as the original records on Findmypast. However there were 80 years or more of records all written in the same hand. It was clear that at some time the original registers had been copied, probably in the late 18th century I think, because halfway down a page of 1746 records was written that ‘From November 1746 to 16th Jan 1763 is lost’ and then they continue from 1763.

These weren’t the Bishops transcripts either, as they are available on Familysearch and are written in different hands and contain some, but not all of the missing.
In this particular case I have no idea why a copy was made, or whether the originals survive as well. Maybe the originals were deteriorating, who knows.

What this does show however, is that there is no reason why there can’t be two or more slightly different records available which may also be deposited in different places today. I wouldn't neccessarily blame the Ancestry transcriber for the differences, there may well be two different sets of 'originals'.

In the above, the parish clerk made a valiant attempt to retrieve as many baptisms as possible (probably about 15%), I suspect  from the local parishioners' family bibles. All the missing deaths, and all missing marriages up to 1754 remain missing.

The Common Room / Re: Opinions would be appreciated

I do not see any possible context in a parish register for using the archiac meaning of 'lowly born' for base born. I don't think there would be any confusion as to what was meant as baseborn in a baptism record ie the mother was one of unmarried, possibly married but had a child with another man, or widowed.

Technical Help / Re: Update problem via Kaspesky Security Suite
« on: Thursday 31 January 19 12:39 GMT (UK)  »
My suggestion would be to uninstall the latest version of Opera from your control panel, reboot your pc and let Kaspersky go through it's process of identifying the latest update and hopefully installing it with no problems being encountered. It maybe just that the previous installation got a bit muddled and now can't recover. You don't say which of the 2 versions of Opera is actually running on your PC, I assume it must still be the December version as that hasn't been removed.

If that doesn't work, consider uninstalling the older Opera version as well and start the installation from scratch.

Is there a way of removing Opera from the Kaspersky updater? If so you may want to remove it and just install Opera without using Kaspersky.

The Common Room / Re: Lily Willetts b.1930 Royston, Barnsley
« on: Tuesday 15 January 19 13:56 GMT (UK)  »
The address in the electoral Register is 137 Parkview, Royston.
If they were at the same address in 1939 then unfortunately on Ancestry the whole page with that address on, bar the last name (43 out of 44 entries), has been redacted (erroneously it looks like). Even worse on Findmypast the page is completely missing.
Just for completeness there is a baptism for Asenath Elizabeth Baker in Royston in October 1903.

Hi again Tessa,

It looks like Joseph and Asenath are probably the parents. The Electoral register for Hemsworth Yorkshire 1950 (on Ancestry) shows Joseph, Asenath and Irene Willetts together.

Joseph Willetts married Asenath E(lizabeth) Baker 1926  Sudbury Suffolk.
Asenath died in Wakefield Yorkshire 1970.
Could be them.

Northumberland / Re: 'The Big Freeze' - Talk today St James Church, Benwell 2 pm
« on: Tuesday 08 January 19 11:46 GMT (UK)  »
Puts the ridiculously hyped "Beast of the East" into context when it was chilly for a few days last year. I recently watched the BBC documentary made towards the end of the 1963 Big Freeze (it's a good watch if you can find it). When the sea freezes several hundred yards out off the south coast you know you're in trouble. At aged 7 it was time off school and lots of sledging and a little disappointed that it didn't happen again in subsequent years having no understanding of the harsh reality.
